    In terms of a RTT specifically aimed at the Jimny, I don’t think there’s anything that will beat thís LT-50 right now. Well done Alu-Cab! 🙌🏼

    Need to invest in a RTT like this. Low profile. The woolies supper is my wife's favorite dish....just we make it in a cobb. Great video and enjoyed watching the sunset.

    Boots in the tent! Sacrilege! Looks amazing and definitely a RTT worth considering. Probably cost a small fortune in Australia though.
    Mid-week breaks are the best!

    Love AluCab products and think this is the best RTT for Jimnys. That said…think the Jimny is just too small for a RTT. I opted for an OzTent RV3 for the Jimny. (Though have a AluCab canopy camper on my Ranger).

    Lol. Not often I see a red head RSA. Cool! I’m getting one of your units for use in Canada even in winter just gonna run it way different. Use a -9c sleeping bag and keep it in the bucker (Ford Bronco). The first roof top I used was in Zimbabwe on an old Defender 90 and it worked well. But gotta say unfortunately RSA vehicles have gone down hill. Hope to see you in a few months for Digger driving. I’m taking my Bronco (a bucker) to RSA than Zim. Not sure about DRC but since I’m doing a run nothing is safe)))

    It is awesome fit for Jimny. That being said, paying almost 3k€ for tent is no way near entry level, for which this tent is supposed to be. But maybe once, at least I hope so :)

    I have an old shape Jimny. 2009. How much weight can the Jim y cargo rails take? I'm a big boy and don't want to sleep a dent into my Jimny's roof. 😊

    • @alu_cab
      @alu_cab  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Gen 3 Jimny roof rails are only rated to 27kg with the standard rails. You could replace the standard rails with solid metal mounts (Front Runner does this for the Gen 3) and then mount load bars to the metal brackets. The tent would then go onto the load bars. The Gen 3 is not as strong as the Gen 4, so it is best not to put anything on top of the tent, to keep the weight down as much as possible.

    Eerste rooftop wat ek sien waarvan ek regtig hou.
    Ek self sal aan beide kante agter, in die middel van die kant seil, 'n haak insit sodat ek die rek daar kan haak vir toe maak. Miskien 'n 2 de rek... Miskien is dit 'n overkill

    • @alu_cab
      @alu_cab  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Jana is about 165cm and Simon is about 175cm - we're not the tallest of folks, but Jeremy slept comfortably in the LT-50 last week and he is about 188cm - he just had to sleep more diagonally, if that makes sense. We would say for anyone over 190cm the LT-50 might become a bit snug, and the gen 3-R might be a better solution.

      South Africa is currently in an energy crisis when it comes to electricity. This means our main power suppliers, Eskom, switches off our power in the country for two or more hours almost every day to avoid excessive load on the generating plants.

It is always up to the customer to ensure that their vehicle and mounting system are equipped to support any gear that they want to put on their vehicle.
